To my dear friends at Lawudo,

Thank you billions of times. Life is very short, so what you are doing, meditating on lamrim, is the very best thing to do. It’s the best way to use your life.

Samsara is the most suffering life. [We have] attachment to this life and the big one on top of that is the ignorance grasping at a truly existent I.

I am sure you have done this retreat with a good motivation for the benefit of all sentient beings—the leeches, mosquitoes, etc—for all of them. A billion thanks to Robina for organizing that retreat.

I am at Maratika where Guru Rinpoche attained immortal life by achieving Amitayus.

With love and prayers ...
